What you need
- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with recent production code contributions
- Strong grounding in system design, architecture patterns and modern engineering tooling
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test automation, observability and quality-focused development practices
- An explicit desire to lead people whilst remaining an active technical contributor
- Experience coaching engineers, running effective 1:1s and providing constructive feedback
- Skilled in Agile delivery methods (Scrum, Kanban) with experience managing delivery risk and stakeholder expectations
Nice to have
- T-shaped profile: deep expertise in at least one area with broad competence across the full stack
- Enthusiasm for AI tooling and a willingness to lead its adoption within your team
- High emotional intelligence and resilience under pressure
- Ability to create inclusive, engaging team environments with a strong engineering culture
- Comfortable addressing underperformance constructively when needed
Worth weighing
- The role requires active coding and technical contributions, which may not suit candidates looking for purely managerial positions.
- Expect a significant focus on AI tooling and automation, which may require a willingness to adapt to new technologies.
- The position involves high responsibility for team dynamics and delivery outcomes, which can be stressful under pressure.
